In the first part of our discussion with an article by Father Karl Wallner OCist. the eschatology it was essentially concerned with the division of time or their organization in the middle, which is Christ. With the Son, through Jesus, the kingdom of God is a present reality has become for us, we allow in our lives, which is the possibility of a form of existence in Being itself, whose possibility we will eventually take as a form of being in which we, dying and überwindent ultimately be the death, "son". As we in this world, "Son" , we finally overcome our existence, since it is an "His death". By becoming "son," We surrender to the Divine Father, trust him so completely to dominate or are we completely free from any doubt of every fact free from fear and death, for being is so essential to death anxiety (see Kierkegaard: The Sickness unto death: Heidegger: Being and Time). develop without now but Heidegger eschatology to do, we proceed with the previously derived from concepts of "fear", "son" and "trust", of course, with that of the "death" to continue to the next point where we are in the "be-son" want to deepen, we concluded the first part as the only possible path to holiness, so as a way into the kingdom of God, to God. It should be pointed out again not to lose sight of the fact that, when speaking of sanctification something Disseitiges is meant that that is' in-the-kingdom of God-be "inextricably to the be bound in this world -" In-Kingdom of God- be called "divine being in the world. Something else is not so be holy than to be divine, what are we if we are his "sons". What it means but concrete son to become? And how can that be possible?
Well, it is first the son, the adopt a child of God over to be able to be aware of this. We are really long ago, we wrote Paul, "for all, they are guided by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did did not receive a spirit that makes you slaves, so that you fear you still müsset, but you have received the Spirit who makes you sons, the spirit in which we cry Abba, Father! The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God. "(Romans 8:14), his child is to be delivered, depending on his parents, wants to put it negatively. But we are simply not slaves, because it means also and above all Freedom and confidence in the loving parents, both are closely interconnected. Freedom, therefore, just because I trust - I trust you with childlike naivety on my parents, God keeps me always, what he represents to me and never let you down, I always want to lead on the right track. I trust it as a child that my parents, my father, never leads me astray. This right carefree simplicity that they begin as well, which is characterized by the parents, the child be significant. This is a first point on which we shall return.
Paul writes further that "if children, then heirs, heirs of God and fellow heirs Christ, provided we suffer with him, to be glorified with him. "(Romans 8:17) Here is a second aspect (which in truth is of course the same, and in fact can not be separated from the first is, as we shall see ). For how can we question what it means to be a child answered better than with a look at Jesus, the Son of God (though I not the title "Son of God" mean). Jesus the Son of shows especially in his son's gestures that run through all the gospels and the last son in a large gesture, namely the surrender to trust in God on the cross, culminating as offerings to the world. The Jesus who is God, God surrenders in love, and thus in a sense gives himself, is a secret that the Holy Father, "called trinitarian mystery of love." This secret we do not attempt here to unravel, but realize the fact that when Jesus, the son do the will of God because he can be good, he does his will at the same time. This is an expression of profound trust in the Father's will. Inevitably recalling the words of Jesus in Gethsemane: not done my will, but thine. In the hour of his greatest affliction Jesus trusted in God, willing in his will one, his will is done. And we see it, the son-one-will-be-with-is to be God. And if we ask in the Father-our, "Your Will be done ", we also ask about the same time be allowed to son, to his son. Do we want to summarize what is now this second point that the child-and that even his son, one could assume that it will be this "consent-being" with the Father. In fact it is the same point as the first, because both can be on a common denominator, which was already common: The childlike simplicity that they begin as well, which comes from the Father and the unconditional consent to the Father's will is ultimately Only the complete confidence of love as a basis. Should you
in a synonym dictionary for under trust meets one on the word faith and hope. That is true, because you might as trust without faith in the Father, without the hope that he holds us to him or the other way round, we are too little sacred, too few children of God, we trust him enough, because we are too few hope, because believe too little? Yes, we all believe too little. Our faith is not even as big as a mustard seed. "Lord, increase our faith" (cf. Lk 17:5)
What now it could mean that trust, which is characterized as sons? The trust is based sew in love and prayer. The prayer is because we just know that nothing we can ultimately only from us, as it is called "their you receive the Spirit who makes you sons, "not" You have claimed to be sons. Not even from us so we can trust. So that we can trust we must pray, because that trust is in God the Father is always a question of love for him. Everything is finally a question of love of God! And we must say we love God recognizes all too little, for "true and perfect love is about whether we have great hope and confidence in God, for there is nothing which can better recognize whether you have all the love, as trust. For if one loves another deeply and completely, thus creating the trust, for everything that you trust in God venture, which is found in it a thousand times more true. And like a man, God can never love too much, he could never trust a person too much. "(Speeches of instruction, 14) The God we trust so, we must love him. So let us pray bestädnig we God "love with all my heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. [For] this is the first and great commandment. "(Cf. Matthew 22:37, Deuteronomy 6:5). And when we pray, we pray also always the Spirit of God, for he is the one who can meet us with love. "Veni Sancte Spiritus ... est tui amoris in eis ignem Accende." - Come, Holy Spirit and kindle ... in them the fire of your love.
And the son is his, so no question therefore of the external action, and action, but, as it sets the formulation already near a of being. Any question of being is but a question of being with God in life. Love him, of course - trust him, no doubt, these are forms of this being, they seem to us but often all too metaphysical and not very practical. Well it is, to put it in Meister Eckhart, to seek to make of itself quite empty, so that God, that his mind can go in us. "If you go out from all things, so far, no less and no more, God is one with all his (RdU, 4). "People need not so much to think what to do, they should rather consider what they were. But the people were good and their ways, their works could shine brightly. Are you properly, and your works are just. Do not you remember to set an action to holiness, holiness found to be rather on an existence, for the works are not holy, but we are the sacred works -. It was eating, sleeping, waking or whatever it is, "This holy of everyday work is a subject of holiness, not only Meister Eckhart knows, but that we are consistently among the saints, of Francis, of Therese of Liseux up to Jose Maria Escriva. The sacred works of the words but not that man, in everything he does, constantly thinking of God, that would be impossible and also the human should not be satisfied with an imaginary God that passes again if he does not think about it, but rather to you have a intrinsic have God. We should have God in being, so that one God in all things God ever present and lights spührt . This "God in His", we have already called his son. The son may be drilled in one well, but ultimately, since it is based on love yes, only ebetet where we just asked the Holy Spirit of God leads us to true love awake.
excursus on Pentecost:
That the Holy Spirit, however, has been living in you, as true as the incarnation of Christ. Why are we still not saints, why we have not "God in His"? Because we get to the Holy Spirit (of love) in turn only by love. The consolation of the Holy Spirit is in fact giving us constantly and always gives the strength to love again. We must love themselves is because his work is not to this or to enlighten those but to revive and build up the Body of Christ. Therefore, the conditions for the gift and power of the Holy Spirit much Community determined. It is involved in the mutual love of the believers as the Spirit of love and of fraternal unity. The Holy Spirit turns finally "only" the father the son and the son of the father (as well as us today).
Pentecost has revealed that God is not for thirty-three years, but is always made flesh. He that what makes his life (that is, His Spirit of Love), shares with us forever. Pentecost - that is the prelude to the irrevocable, perpetual presence of Christ here in the world. Pentecost seems such a mightier event than Christmas, because in the incarnation - there is God to man, God will a man, but at Pentecost, the people called to be "God." God has reduced inclined not only to us, but He wants us to use too - he wants to make us "sons of God." The revelation of the mind is much grander, more striking than that of the son. The Incarnation of the Son was in the dark, at night, in a stall. Pentecost but burst like a bomb into the middle of the day, and hundreds of people witnessed this transformation. This was not God who was in distress and suffering to the people, but a whole crowd of men who, flooded with light and full of delight "God" are. "You will be bigger things as I do ": Jesus thinks of the church, if he predicts this. The uniquely original work of the Spirit is the Church. "If you knew the gift of God!" This gift is the Church. altissimi donum Dei - assistance which gives the father. God to man in man. Connected to the people. What is the best that God has? His spirit of love. He joins us. He lets us participate in Him. And by the merger of those who have received him, and created a growing church. When Jesus tells us that He will send His spirit of love, He withdraws not, but promises us that links us most closely with him.
And if we have the Holy Spirit (of Love) "God in His" already laid the foundations, which are "sons of God" we should ultimately be the son himself. Namely by sons, children who have received the Spirit of love not only the power to love but to love and trust themselves and their father.
To be continued ...
In the sequel I'm working again with an actual example from the article by Father Karl Wallner OCist. Against which I will try to elaborate on the trust and to address its appearance in connection with the holiness.
